OUR Friends, and all those who may h av e to write to us, are requested to he particular in dirdting, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 10/. 201., or 30/., for instance , if rem itted in One Bank of Eng land, Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive IVloney from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. - - - Tlee publication qf Tux SUN NEWSPAPER comm fenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock • ,‘ ) 771 :1 X,r0, •, 4-14 1.1. . r;," LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5,133 G BOYCE's resolution, which was seconded Ly Mr. O'CoNNELL, and carried unanimously at a Meeting of the National Association, which was hell in Dublin on Thursday last, is the hardest hit that Lord LYNDHURST has yet received. The molution is as follows :—" That it having been ascertained that Lord Baron LYNDHURST has asserted in his place a Member of Parliament, that the great and overwhelm ing majority of the Irish people are aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in' religion,' from the British people, we do deem it a sacred duty, solemnly, awl in the face of the entire British nation, to pro claim our deep conviction that the said Lord LYND - URST is an enemy, at one and the same time, to the peace of Ireland, to the stability of the connexion be tween those countries, the liberty of the people, and to the safety of the throne." The Tories have good reason to rejoice in a leader who has not only been the means of rousing a whole nation against them, but even of laying the corner-stone of the Irish Association. For we perfectly agree with Mr. BoycE—and we made the remark some weeks since— that it is not Mr. O'CONNELL who has founded this Association, but Lord LYNDHURST ; he it is who has taunted and goaded the Irish into combination and unanimity ; but for his intolerable insults, they would never have risen as one man to insist on equal jus tice. We therefore call upon Mr. BOYCE, at the very next meeting of the Irish Association, to come forward to move a vote of thanks to Lord LYND HURST, for the powerful assistance he has lent them, in their endeavours to. have justice done them. Com mon gratitude demands that they pay this tribute to the claims of one of their greatest, if not their very greatest, benefactors. An exhibition so ludicrous that it may justly be de nominated a farce, was got up last week at Bradford. Our readers know that there is a Member named HARDY in the House of Commons ; but none of them, we dare say, beyond those resident in the town we have mentioned, ever thought it worth while to remember whence he came, or how he got there. They could not well forget, however others might, a circumstance which reflects so much discredit on the electors of a manufacturing locality. The greatest fools are generally the least conscious of their folly--and Mr. HARDY affords a good illus tration of this truth. After the disgrace which over whelmed this wretched Tory tool, who had flattered himself that he was performing political wonders, while he was in rea li ty b ut t h e cat's-paw of a cunning faction —just as the idiot fancied that he was playing on the organ when he wa s only blowing the bellows ; after the signal discomfiture, we say which overtook this ma n and his abettors, in th e blowing-up of the plot they had laid for d estro ying Mr. O'CONELL, and through him the Government, it might have been expected that he would have retired from public scenes, and have hid his head in obscurity for the rest of his life. Any one whose heart was not of steel and his forehead of brass would, we are sure, have acted thus. Mr. HARDY, however, has callousness and a p ow er of impudence which fall to the lot of few men. He a c t ua ll y gets together the off-scourings of the Bradford anti-reform gang to the number of a couple of hundred, h o ld s a guzzle, perks himself on a table, and gabbles over the whole history of the Carlow affair, with as much pro lixity as if it redounded to his honour. Why Mr. HARDY has allowed so long a time to elapse, before he attempted to vindicate his conduct in so important a matter to his constituents, it is riot for us to surmise. If the attempt be the result of second thoughts, it is a clear proof that they are not always best, for he has made the case against himself much worse than it was before. One thing is especially worthy of remark. The gravamen of the charge against Mr. O'CONNELL, every One knows, was the pecu niary nature of the transaction—the appropriation, in short, of the money to his own purposes. Now what does Mr. HARDY say? He acquits Mr. O'CONNELL of all sordid motives, but adds the truth-telling Mem ber for Bradford, " I never made a charge against him of a pecuniary character." Can anything in the way of hardihood equal this ? We have bestowed much more time upon this insig nificant person than he is worth ; but we cannot help adding that the speech of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL at Edinburgh, in which the Learned Gentleman alluded to the " long faces" made by the Tories when the re port of the Carlow Committee came out, has excited the wrath of this small Tory, as it has that of the larger animals of that genus. The Reformers of Worcestershire gave a public dinner on Wednesday last, at Pershore, to their ex cellent Representatives, Messrs. ..HOLLAND and CooKEs. Mr. HOLLAND addressed the meeting at great length, in a speech in which he dwelt upon the necessity of a reform in the House of Lords, and re commended union among the friends of the people. The Conservatives of the Western Divisipn of Corn wall, celebrated the defeats of their faction by a public dinner at Truro on Saturday last. The principal feeders on the occasion were Lords FALMOUTH, ELIOT and BOSCAWEN, T. E. VIVIAN, Esq., M.P., a Colonel GILBERT, a Captain HEXT, and twelve Parsons. The chairman, CLEMENT CARLYON, Esq., after the delivery of the usual toasts, opened the per formances of the evening with a speech worthy of the intelligence and political sagacity of an Egyptian Mummy. This gentleman, who was stated to be the college chum of a Reverend orator, of whose powers of ratiocination and eloquence we shall presently have oc casion to speak, commenced his address with the fol lowing grandiloquent exordium, which we copy ver batim from the Post of this morning : tli " When Europe began to settle in to a s q of tranuil lity, after the tremendous agitation of the nch Revolu tion had subsided, the splendour of Great Bri i ain shone like the refulgence of some lofty mountain, its summit illurni 7 nated by the sun, whilst the other nations of Europe scarcely could believe themselves released from the fetters with which they had so long been bound, and were labour ing to repair the injuries which their own intestine dissen sions or the ravages of an insatiable foreign conqueror had occasioned ; as if personating her fabled hero, St. George, England had slain the dragon , a nd great, glorious, and free, was at peace with all the world. But, this tranquillity was . not to be lost for ever ; for although Britons were all equally free, all could not be equally rich or great, and those halcyon days which succeeded the hurricane of the war began to lour. The old volcano continued from :time to time to burst out anew, and an impatience to follow the example of France was ere long manifested in this country. But, thank God ! the fearful din of revolution ended in Reform, and whether that Reform was the work of consummate wisdom or not they were not met there to consider. The peroration is worthy of the exordium. We quote it from the same Journal : " And, since nations were but aggregates of individuals, let them all be prepared to look at home, and to themselves, and certain he was, that the immortal Bard of Avon touched a string which would be responded to in the breasts of all who heard him, when he predicted; with a confidence akin to inspiration, that " Nought shall make us rue, If Englan3 to itself do rest but true." Mr. CARLYON'S logic is about on a par with his politics. His speech forcibly reminds us of the an s wer of the superannuated Jarvv—" Tom, why do they call you a waterman ? " Vv, cos I opens the coach doors, yer honour." Air. CARLYON put the few questions he judged worthy of notice in the mouths of the Whigs, and his answers to them were quite as amusing, and just about as logical as the old waterman's. The Rev. N. LE G RICE followed the Chairman. Tie talked at great length of the happy effects of the Union between Church and State, which he thought proper to illustrate by reference to individuals among the company. After lauding the zeal, the knowledge, the patriotism, and the-what-not, of Lord BoscAwEN, and after leaving it to be inferred that the Noble Lord was indebted for all these qualifica tions to an early education at Eton, the Her. Gentle man concluded this topic with the following climax of absurdity : " They had another instance of the excellency of those institutions which inculcated the happy union of Church and State, in another nobleman near him (Lord Eliot). — (Cheers.) What qualified him to undertake that embassy on which he went to a foreign shore, a messenger of mercy —where he rescued the helpless ? In him was the voice of pardon heard. From one end of the kingdom to the other it was considered by one and all that a more proper mes senger could not be sent. The Rev. Gentleman next alluded to Lord Lyndhurst, who he stated was another bright example of the utility of those nurseries of that union in Church and State. He (Lord Lyndhurst) had reached a higher pinnacle of glory than that of Chancellor of Great Britain—he had had the honour of knowing that O'Conciell had called him " accursed"—that lie had been accursed by that man, who could sneer at the hero of Waterloo." The Church may well claim an alliance with the State—aye, and insist loudly upon its necessity—that boasts of aLE GRICE for one of its pillars. To stand alone is certainly more than its members can expect, if common sense in the mouths of its pastors be at all necessary to its stability. The most ignorant pot house demagogue in the three kingdoms would blush through a mask of triple brass, were lie accused of uttering any thing so monstrously absurd as, that without an education at Eton, a man could not dis charge the functions of an ambassador to a rebel, or ascend to the dignity of becoming an object of Mr. O'CONNELL's abuse. If Mr. O'CONNELL ' s well merited castigations were to confer a dis tinction more honourable than a seat en the Woolsack, Lord LYNDHURST would find some strange charac ters among his new compeers. But the leading performers in the course of the evening were Lords FALMOUTH and ELIOT. The former spoke by the hour in support of our " Glorious Constitution in Church and State." After lauding to the skies the zeal of the parsons who toasted such brimming bumpers to the case of Conser vatism, the Noble Lord sagely observed ;-- " He wished those assailants of the Protestant Church would point out where in'the history of the world there was a body of men like the Clergy of that country—celebrated for their piety, their learning, and the unostentatious discharge of their social and religious duties." A wish very reasonable is soon complied with. With the sole exception of their learning—such as it is—the Clergy of the Church of England are celebrated for nothing but their vices, or at best their rapacity, and their utter neglect of their sacred duties. As a priesthood charged with communicating the spirit of the Gospel to the poor—with watching over the spiritual welfare of their flocks—the clergy of the Church of England, taken as a body, are incompa rably inferior to any other body of ecclesiastics in Europe. The Presbyterian priesthood of Scotland — the Catholic priesthood of Ireland, France, and even Italy—the Protestant priesthood of Switzerland, and the German Protestant States—and even the ignorant fathers of the Greek Church in Russia, are a million of times more observant of their sacred functions than are the boasted dignitaries of the Established Church of England. None but an " Eton-bred" statesman could assert the contrary. His Lordship's panegyric on the House of Lords was quite equal to the enco mium passed upon the clergy of the Established Church. In times past the Peers had done every thing; and if they now did nothing, it was because the Governm ent had dared to prevent them. The House of Pee rs , li ke was evDerearreapdeyoptloe, exclaim beei : sitting here prepared Cleon in the comedy of the Knights, And anxi ous t I've o do you good, for these three ages." It was therefore no fault o f the Peers if the people were not perfectly happy, "'heir Lordships had gone far enough in the path of conciliation, and would now take another course with the demagogues. Lord ELIOT, l ik e a real Jesuit as he is, threw out a bait to every faction. He was not a red hot Tory," for lie was prepared to see every abuse removed however venerable the institution to which it could be traced ; he was not a Whig, for he was prepared to die rather than sever the ligature which bound Church an... State in one and he was also a member of the Carlton Club ; and he was not a Destructive, for he was ready to confess that had he been in the House of Com mons he would have voted with Sir ROBERT PEEL on the Irish Church Bill. He admitted however THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1836. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—His Majesty's steam-packet, Ferret, on Friday, December 2, P.M., landed Prince Polignac, and passengers, at Dover, from the Roadstead, with risk and difficulty : she then ran to Ramsgate, knowing the convenience of that harbour from frequent experience, to land the Prince's and other passengers' carriages, materials and freight, and, im mediately on the execution of this service, worked up towards Dover, to be in readiness the following morning to take on board the mail for Calais. In this she succeeded, but when about half channel over, not being able to prosecute her voyage, she bore up for Ramsgate, and arrived in the afternoon of December 3d to take in fuel. No doubt weather will be pleaded as an excuse ; when, in fact, the difficulty arises from the entrance of Dover harbour being blocked up with a bar. That the Government Packets, by being placed on the Dover station, must necessarily'cause an enormous ex pense to the country is too evident. The commission of in quiry published in 1836, gives us sufficient proof of the burthen, but not the cause. Here is one of the effects of the system, and is not a new case. The Ferret must have had her steam up at least eight hours more than was neces sary, had she made the voyage on the 2d inst. direct from Calais to Ramsgate ; exclusive of the increased expenditure of fuel,there is an increased wear and tear of the vessels and ma chinery ; this unnecessary expenditure of the public money,and inconvenience to the nation, in her intercourse with France, via Dover, is a matter of grave consideration, and having a port at hand suited for the purpose, it becomes a measure worthy of legislative interference. The increased expen diture of the packets on the Dover station (exclusive of coals) in wear and tear, amounted to 5,0801. from 1833 to 1834 ; and in evidence before the commission of inquiry it appears that there is a loss of 4,0001. per annum to the Treasury, from the inconvenience of embarking freight and passengers, when the vessels are necessarily obliged to lay in the Roadstead. This occurs from Dover being a bar harbour ; and in such cases they lay with the steam up three hours before the mail arrives. This flagrant case of the 2d instant with the Ferret, it is to be hoped, will be investigated by those in authority. The despatches she had on board might have been of importance. Two points should be ascertained—her position in the Channel when she bore up for Ramsgate ; the quantity of fuel she had on board at that time ; and where the remaining four packets were lying. on the 3d instant. R. Ramsgate, Dec. 4, 1836. ____ THE MARKETS—(THIS DAY). -..a.. i CORN EXCHANGE. The boisterous weather of the past week occasioned the arrivals of Grain and Flour to be small ; there was, however, a good quantity of Oats from Ireland. There was little variation in prices, but the trade was generally inanimate. This morning the fresh supplies of all kinds of Corn have been moderate. The continuance of damp weather causes nearly all the samples of Wheat to come tender, and the mil lers were disinclined to purchase. Dry samples, which were very moderate, obtained last quotations ;.other qualities are Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper than this day se'nnight. Barley meets a very heavy trade, and is also further declined 2s. per quarter. Beans, both old and new, do not sell so freely as of late, and are rather lower. Boiling Pease maintain their former rates. Grey Pease are dull, and declining in value. The demand for Oats is slack, and the prices of this day se'n night could hardly be maintained. There has been a fair trade for Flour during the week, and the prices of the pre vious week are unchanged. There is a report that fifteen ves sels for America, with Wheat from the continent, have been lost or seriously damaged during the late gales. PRICES ON BOARD/OP SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) ss. 655.

We have but one remark to make upon these Conser vative exhibitions, and that is :—that they must prove fatal to the cause of Toryism. The sheer ignorance displayed by the Peers who attend them is the best proof the country can possibly have of the incapacity of an assembly composed of such materials. To put down the House of Lords Nothing more is required than that the Peers shall condescend to make speeches in the hearing of the people. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, DEC. 3.—Wind W.

The inhabitants of Swanbourne have, during the past week, been thrown into a state of considerable ex citement by the following circumstance :—On Tuesday week the body of an individual was found in a cow-house there, and an inquest was held on it, when a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God" was returned. Subse quently to the inquest, some doubts arose as to his being dead ; and it is said, that on a medical man being called in, he gave it as his opinion that the man was merely in, a trance. He has been placed in a coffin, and now lies in the church ; his face is still of a florid appearance, his limbs are neither stiff nor cold, and his body is at times covered with perspiration. Numbers have visited the place, but none of the villagers choose to go alone.---Aylesbury Paper.

The father of this elderly widow took exception to the object of her choice, who was a young man of twenty-six, on the ground that he was no thing more than a poor servant without fortune or educa tion, who speculated on the respectability of the widow. The Tribunal de Premiere Instance of Paris, before which the case came, took a different view of the question. The parents of the tender Madame Monteret lodged an ap peal, but eventually allowed judgment to go by default ; the decision was therefore on the 20th October confirmed. The President observed that the father of the youthful lady attributed the intention of his daughter to madness. The advocate of Madame Monteret said that parents al ways consider children mad who oppose them. The ap pellant not having followed up the appeal, the amorous widow has been enabled to realize her fond expectations.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in the appeal which was heard before his Lordship some time since. It was an appeal from a decree at the Rolls against the original decree, and upon exceptions and further direc tions. By the decree it was referred to the Master to en quire and state whether the balance due from a person named Harvey to Messrs. Bolietho and Co., bankers, in Cornwall, had been satisfied and discharged by the subse quent transactions that had taken place between them. The Master reported that the Messrs. Bolietho had not any notice that the funds they had appropriated to the payment of a balance due from Harvey to them was trust property, at the same time also reporting that the balance due to Messrs. Bolietho was not to the extent they asserted it was. To the report both parties excepted—the plaintiff on the ground that there was notice, and the de fendant upon the ground of the amount of their debt. When those exceptions came on to be heard, those taken by the plaintiff were held as good and sufficient, and it was declared that the balance, which had been appropriated by Messrs. Bolietho was trust property. From these several de ieions the present appeal was brought. The case made by the bill was that the father of the plaintiff gave by his will pro perty to a considerable amount to his widow for her life, with large powers for the advancement of his children. In 1821 a sum of 2,0001. was laid out by the mother of the plaintiff in the purchase of real property, which was afterwards resold, and the purchase reoney paid in two sums into the house of Bolietho and Co., where she banked ; Mr. Harvey, the plaintiff, 'who had become bankrupt, was indebted to Messrs. Bolietho in the sum of upwards of 2,0001., and when the a mount was paid into their hands, Messrs. Bolietho placed it to the credit of their balances. The bill was then filed against them for the purpose of com pelling them to repay that amount, and on the case coming on before the present Master of the Rolls, he made the orders that were now appealed from. His Lordship thought he decree of the Court below should be affirmed, and the exceptions of the plaintiff allowed ; but with respect to the declaration as to the extent of Messrs. Bolietho's demand, his Lordship entertaining groat doubts as to the extent to which it should go, wished to hear Counsel upon it on a future day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) RAFFETY V. KING.—JUDGMENT. The MASTER of the ROLLS this morning gave jgdg. meat in this case, which his Lordship stated to be this Mr. John Dean being entitled to a piece of freehold land subject to a mortgage term of 1,000 years, vested in Sa muel Manning, for securing to him 3001. and interest ; made his will dated March 26, 1795, and thereby devised the piece of land to his wife, Mary Dean, to hold the same for her natural life, if she should so long continue his widow, and unmarried. He also gave her certain copyhold property, to be held in like manner, and after her death he devised the land to Vesey Raffety and his heirs, in trust to sell and dispose thereof by public sale, the proceeds to be invested in Government or real securities, and to be divided among his children. He gave his personal estate, aftor payment of his debts, to his wife, and appointed Vesey Raffety trus tee, and his wife sole executrix of his will. The testator soon afterwards died, and in April, 1796, the equity of redemption was sold to Mr. Samuel Manning, the mortgagee. By an indenture, dated April the 9th, 1796, the estate was conveyed to Samuel Manning, and Vesey Raffety and Mrs. Dean entered into the usual covenants for quiet enjoyment and further assurance. On the execution of the deed, Samuel Manning entered on the lands, and the individuals claiming under him have continued in possession without accounting, or even being called on to account, for the rents and profits up to the time of the institution of the suit. Mary Dean, the widow of John, did not marry again, and she lived till the month of December' 1832. At that time the children of John Dean, or those claiming under him, if they were not barred, would become, according to the trusts of their father's will, en titled to have the estate sold, and the purchase money di vided among them. Vesey Raffety being dead, John Raffety, together with the surviving children of John Dean, and the representatives of the deceased children, filed their bill to have a conveyance of the estate, or of the equity of redemption to John Raffety, or to have the estate sold according to the trusts of the will. His Lord ship, said that prima facie the plaintiffs were entitled to a decree. The claim of the defendants was rested on three grounds—first, that the defendants had been mortgagees in possession, without account or admission of mortgage, for more than twenty years before the bill was filed ; secondly, that, after so great a length of time, it ought to be presumed the sale was properly made ; and, thirdly, that John Raffety is bound, by his father's cove nant, for quiet enjoyment and further assurance—that he is incompetent to sue—and that, therefore, his co-plaintiff can obtain no relief. It was admitted to be the settled rule of the Court, that if a mortgagee took possession in that character, and continued in possession without account ing, and without admitting he possessed a mortgage title for twenty years, the mortgager was barred ; but, in this case, the mortgagee did not take possession in his character of mortgagee, but as the purchaser of the equity of redemption. Under these circumstances it was contended as a general proposition, the suit not being merely between mortgager and mortgagee ; that the mortgager was barred, whatever might be the disabilities under which he laboured. His Lordship went through the authorities that bad been cited by Counsel in the argument, and came to the decision that the plaintiffs were entitled to have a decree for an account of rents since the death of Mary Dean, on account of the interest accrued due on the mortgage, and a conveyance to John Raffety, under the trusts of the will, but without costs. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY. BERKELEY, M.P., V. FRASER.

FOLLETT (with whom was Mr. CHARMELS) stated the case. It was an action brought by Henry Ro berts, a coachmaker, against the defendant, a surgeon, re siding near Stepney, for criminal conversation for the plain tiff's wife. Although the plaintiff was in humble circum stances, the case of the defendant was one of a very serious and aggravated nature, inasmuch as he was a married man, the father of a family, and was called upon in his profes sional character to attend the plaintiff's wife, who was for some time in a bad state of health. The Learned Gentleman here stated the facts of the case as it afterwards appeared in evidence. It might be said that the plaintiff had not taken proper care of his wife, having left her at one end of the town while be remained at the other ; but his business ne cessarily occasioned his absence. They would recollect that the present was not a case in which the seducer was a friend of the family, but one of a much more aggravated nature, because, from. the nature of the defendant's visits, there was the most unlimited confidence reposed in him. No sus picion could exist in the sick chamber ; the medical at tendant had free leave to come and go, and being the father of a family, made a circumstance of the present sort still more Tipr?bable. It would be shown that the defendant w a s living in rather affluent circumstances at the time this o ccur Fence took place, keeping his carriage, and although be might have thought it prudent to lay it down since the present action was brought ; that would not, he was satis fied, weigh with the Jury in awarding to the plaintiff such compensation as the serious injury inflicted upon him by the defendant would entitle him to at their hands. Thomas Tatham—l am a coachmaker in Hope-street, May Fair. The plaintiff was apprenticed to a coachmaker in Tottenham-court-road in 1808. He was married in 1830, and he then lived in the Mile-end Road. I visited him there frequently. His wife appeared to' be about 25 years old, and they lived very happily together. Plaintiff was then carrying on the hearth-rug business, but I believe lie was unfortunate in it. Since then he has been engaged for different coach-builders. It is necessary that the work should be attended to at an early hour in the morning— about six o'clock. Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGER—The plaintiff is now about forty years old. I have often taken my meals with him. While living in the Mile-end Road, I have dined five or six times in the course of a year. I never heard the plaintiff swear at his wife. The first time 1 heard of her illness was last Christmas two years. They were then living in Ireland Row, Mile-end Road. The plaintiff was then in prison, and took the benefit of the Act. His wife carried on dress-making. 1 remember M. Ro berts living at a green-grocer's shop. It is nearly three y e ars since I visited the plaintiff's house, and his wife was then confined to her bed.

Mary Anne Wood—My husband is employed in a Scotch house in Friday-street. I was present at the mar riage of plaintiff and his wife, and visited them after their marriage in Mile-end-road. They appeared to be living very happily together. Mr. Roberts treated his wife very kindly. Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGER—I did not dine very often with them, but sometimes took tea. Mrs. Roberts did not appear to be quite 20 when married. He was about 36. The plaintiff is I believe in attendance in the Court. Anne Gray—l was living as servant with Mrs. Roberts in the year 1834. She was then living at a Mrs. Middle ton's, Mary-Anne-street, Commercial Road. Mrs. Mid dleton was Mrs. Roberts's mother. I know the defendant ; he is a surgeon and apothecary in that neighbourhood. He called very often, and lunch was sent up to him to Mrs. Roberts's bed-room. He remained between two and three hours. I saw Mrs. Roberts directly after he left ; she was on the bed and her gown unfastened. I did not mention the matter to any body. Cross-examined by M'. C. PHILLIPS—The lunch was chops and mackerel. The mackerel was got for Mrs. Ro berts. I eat some of the chops. Mrs. Roberts was very ill at the time I was there. She was ordered the lightest food. I can't say whether any of the chops were eaten uP stairs. I don't know whether Mrs. Middleton went into the room while the defendant was there or not. Thomas Dilnor—l carry on the business of a green -gro cer, at the corner of Tredegar-square, Mile End-road. T he defendant lives about fifty yards from me. He lived before that in the Mile End-road. I was formerly in his service. Defendant kept an open carriage, and I often drove him to visit Mrs. Roberts in Mile End-road. She then removed to Mary Anne-street, and defendant visited her there. Mrs. Roberts was then removed to my house, and defen dant visited her there. He visited her almost every ( 1 5 - His visits were sometimes long, and sometimes short. Il e drove her out in his carriage four or five times while I wa s in his service. It was the defendant first spoke to Me about taking Mrs. Roberts as a lodger. Plaintiff and Mrs. Middleton afterwards came and took the front room. She stayed ten months. Defendant visited her every day who a ` she first came. He used to come about half past nine* The time was then changed to the evening. We thought it strange sometimes his stopping so long, but nothing oc curred to excite our suspicions. When Mrs. Roberts came first she was very unwell, and was in a state of salivation . Afterwards we found she was not so ill as she represented . She was very well all day, till just before defendant came- She would then go to bed, and remain there till defendan t went away, and then she would get up, and remain up till one or two in the morning. Plaintiff used to come and see his wife every Sunday. He stopped all day. He Was, then, I understood, at work in Holborn. He always pain my rent. Mrs. Roberts employed herself at needle -work. She made two foot-stools, and sent them to the defendant s• I saw them taken there. Mrs. Roberts afterwards Wen t to Mrs. Rislingbury's. Mrs. Rislingbury showed me the room she lived in, and a hole in the ceiling, frore which 1 could see the whole of the room. Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGER—Plaintiff almost al ways paid me the rent himself, 4s. a week.. I was five years living with the defendant, as servant. The defendant is married, and has eight children. I have frequently ea" ried medicine to her, while in defendant's service. MP' Roberts used to spit blood sometimes, while in my house.. Roberts came every Sunday, during the ten months she lived with me, but he never slept with his wife. whe n plaintiff was working in the neighbourhood, a bed was put n? for him in the back room, in which he slept three or lon e r months, but he never slept with his wife. The plaintin and his wife had one quarrel while in my house, and sh ° became ill, and Mr. Snow was sent for. I saw no sofa in Rislingbury's room. The ceiling where the hole was, Cr peered to be lath and plaster. A person p o inted ou t ' where the sofa stood. I could see the place very plait"; from the hole in the ceiling. During the latter part. m the time Mrs. Roberts lived with witness, she drank spi rits and wine. I said to the defendant it appeared to be a mysterious case, and defendant said it was. He said that sometimes she would not speak to him at all. By the COURT.—The defendant is about 40 y "4 3 old. It was at Mr. Snow's suggestion that Mrs. Roberts lef t my house.
